I saw this on a friends blog and thought it was a fantastic idea. I hope that i will be able to keep it up every week. Things have been busy here at home, it will be nice for me to reflect and be thankful.
1. I'm so thankful for my job. When we moved back to the gila valley, we decided that clifton would focus on school and i would get a job and support our family. This volleyball coaching gig fell into my lap, and i cannot express how much i love it. Working with these girls gives me such pleasure (especially when we win), that i pretty sure its what i want to do for my career. Now, i don't know at what level or gender (i hear boys are easier to coach than girls...hmm), but i love teaching the game. And watching these girls fall in love with the game is amazing.
2. Im thankful for my OTHER job. Last season when we would travel on our road trips, i thought to myself, "i'm going, I might as well drive!" So I got my CDL, and now drive at least once a week...sometimes twice or as in this week, three. I find it relaxing to just be gone for an evening, and call it a job. It does get hard at times when we have the long trips (the games start at 7, and dont get over until 9 sometimes 9:30), but i find ways around the sleepiness. I enjoy relaxing and having time to think on the open road.
Oh yeah, i'm thankful for my OTHER, OTHER job. i teach a volleyball class one night a week at the college. An average of 40-50 students attend, and just play. So much fun.
3. I'm thankful for Bishop's who care.
4. I'm thankful for friends who listen with love. You know who you are... I love you squezzie-q.
5. I'm thankful for my health and the desire to get and stay healthy. Not just physicaly, but mentaly. Ah to be sain...someday.

It's always good to remind ones-self of things they are grateful for. I think if every person in this world reflected on it at least once a day, there would be better drivers on the road, more patient mommies (including myself) and a greater sense of well-being. I'm glad that you know I am always close enough to lend a listening ear, and heart. I am sorry that we live so far apart. I love you!
I bet you're so good at your coaching job. I wish I could come and watch a game and see Coach McNeil on the sidelines. You sexy beast.
Janiel you're awesome. I am glad you're loving all your JOBS. I start working in a couple of weeks. Crazy. I hope to love mine like you love yours!
